The Impact of COVID-19 on the Mental Health of Filipina Mothers

The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed method study is to identify the multi-level factors that are associated with depression and anxiety among Filipina mothers and gain a more comprehensive understanding of the mental health of Filipina mothers during the

Sikolohiyang Pilipino (Enriquez, 1982),

Postcolonial Psychology of Filipinos (David, 2013),

and Intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989) as a conceptual framework.
